Hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms and hepatic ischaemic injury: a rare complication of polyarteritis nodosa.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
A woman in her 70s presented with months of intermittent fevers, severe fatigue, headaches, abdominal pain and haematuria. She developed acute onset left-sided weakness and was found to have radiographic evidence of right frontal and left parietal intraparenchymal haemorrhages with subarachnoid haemorrhage. She also had markedly elevated liver transaminases with subsequent abdominal MRI that revealed hepatic artery pseudoaneurysms (HAP) requiring embolisation. The case required a multidisciplinary approach consisting of hepatology, interventional radiology and rheumatology. Ultimately, the aetiology was attributed to polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). Through this case report, we highlight HAP as an extremely rare complication of PAN. Although it is a challenging diagnosis to make, it has a favourable response to immunosuppression with high-dose corticosteroids.
